DC held its Meet the Publishers panel at Comic-Con today, with Co-Publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio spotlighting a number of major upcoming projects. The biggest news from the panel is that The Darkness creator Marc Silvestri is writing and drawing a new mini-series called Batman/Joker: Deadly Duo.

As the title suggests, this series features the two characters joining forces for a change. Their alliance comes in response to an unknown enemy who is simultaneously tormenting the Joker from afar and torturing a kidnapped Commissioner Gordon. The series will be set outside traditional DC continuity and be published through the DC Black Label imprint.
